Calvin Ridley continues to prove Falcons were right to trade him

The Tennessee Titans went into their season opener hoping that the playmakers around Cam Ward would lead the team to a big win over the Denver Broncos.

That ended up being anything but the case, and much of the blame lands on the shoulders of former Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Calvin Ridley, who struggled to do the most basic part of his job description: catch the ball.

The veteran receiver left his rookie quarterback hanging out to dry with numerous ugly drops that changed the outcome of the game.

Meanwhile, the Falcons are still happy with their decision to trade the former first-round pick.
